The young adventurer is found inside a study, clutching a big book and accompanied by his loyal canine companion, Snowy.

Another still from "The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn" has been released, focusing on the titular character and his obedient dog, Snowy. The movie directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by Peter Jackson has unleashed a few stills before, but this is the first that gives a closer look on Tintin.

The motion-capture film is starring Jamie Bell as the young protagonist, the intrepid young reporter whose relentless pursuit of a good story thrusts him into a world of high adventure, and Daniel Craig as the nefarious Red Rackham. Starring also Andy Serkis and Simon Pegg, the movie will arrive on theaters this Christmas.

Craig said recently in an interview that he hated wearing motion capture outfit while filming. He told Esquire magazine, "We shot it in mo-cap (motion capture). Which is like: 'F**k me, I'm literally in a leotard with a f**king helmet on, and a camera strapped to it'... (Because Spielberg was directing) every f**ker in the world comes to visit... (including) Clint f**king Eastwood... (I'm thinking) 'I'm gonna meet these people dressed like this? Playing a pirate, wearing a leotard and a camera?'"
